Hi, yes they all don't corrode, some of them look like the lacquer is not adhered to the alloy whether this is water under the lacquer I don't know,but I can tell you from experience it only gets worse, so go to your dealer and get them changed.

Spoke to Lexus Customer Service who put me through to customer relations the other day and all that they ars saying is that they would look at my case favourably when out of the three year warranty. Where did you hear that the warranty on the wheels had been extended to four years?

← Yep first set after 2000miles,car has only done 800miles since last replacement set,so they have not been on salty roads,however if Lexus think that anyone reading this site will then go and buy an IS 200 they must be on a different planet. JD Power satisfaction survey means nothing when you look at the set questions eg "how well do the tyres last". Nothing like "does the car suffer any corrosion?"However if Lexus think I will sing their praises because they say " no problem sir" well they have another thing coming..

Hi Everyone: Drive a 2002 IS 200 Sport, had it from brand new,bought from Lexus Edinburgh. Car has covered 7805 miles and has so far had 21 wheels including the five originals, I am now waiting to have yet another set of refurbs fitted, making a grand total of twenty six wheels, is this a record? Spoke to Lexus GB and they say Japan do not see this as a problem and all they can do for me is to replace the wheels, even though it costs me petrol to and from Edinburgh and insurance every time I get a courtesy car. I hoped to keep the car till the new model IS was released but I am now afraid to take the chance as that will mean trading it in with possibly rusty alloys! another reason to knock more money of my trade in price. ANY IDEAS OR SUGGESTIONS APPRECIATED.
